Use Ivory liquid ssoap or cheap, store brand baby shampoo. 1/2 cup shampoo 1/4 cup Listerine (or rubbing alcohol) put in a one quart container and fill with water. The alcohol or Listerine works on some insects because it removes the waxy coating that protects their "skin" and allows the soap to do them in. -- Andie Paysinger & the PENDRAGON Basenjis,Teafer,Cheesy,Singer & Player asenji@earthlink.net So.
